Winrose Animal Hospital veterinarian advises to keep pets safe from extreme temperatures

Winter has shown up with some brutally cold temperatures here in northern Manitoba.

And, pet owners are being advised to keep an eye out for their cats and dogs during these times.

Dr. Ingrid Sproll, a veterinarian with the Winrose Animal Hospital in Winnipeg, says some dogs are actually suited to colder climates.

 

 



Sproll said short-haired animals tend not to do well in the cold and cats have a greater risk of freezing their ears and tails when temperatures drop.
